Free Rehearsal Schedule Template
A free choir rehearsal planner that builds a timed rehearsal schedule from your repertoire. Set piece priorities, generate a rehearsal plan, and run a live countdown timer — no sign-up required.
Everything You Need to Plan a Rehearsal
Priority Weighting
Mark each piece as Needs Work, New, or Polish. The template allocates more rehearsal time to pieces that need it most using a weighted algorithm.
Timed Schedule
Generate a complete rehearsal schedule with real clock times. See exactly when each piece starts and how long you have for every segment.
Live Countdown Timer
Run a large-format countdown during rehearsal. Audio beeps at 30 seconds, 10 seconds, and when time is up keep you on track without watching the screen.
Copy and Share
Copy your rehearsal schedule as plain text to paste into WhatsApp, email, or any messaging app. Share the plan with section leaders before rehearsal.
Customisable Segments
Toggle warm-up, sight-reading, sectional work, run-throughs, breaks, and director’s notes on or off. The schedule adjusts automatically.

No sign-up, no account, no limitations. Use it every week directly in your browser. Add it to your home screen for instant access.
How the Rehearsal Schedule Template Works
Add Your Repertoire
Enter each piece with its duration and priority level. Choose your total rehearsal length and start time, then toggle on the segments you need — warm-up, breaks, run-throughs.
Generate Your Schedule
Tap Generate and the template builds a timed rehearsal plan with real clock times. Pieces marked “Needs Work” get three times more time than “Polish” pieces — automatically.
Run the Live Timer
Start the countdown and prop your phone on the music stand. The timer moves through each segment with audio cues at 30 seconds, 10 seconds, and time’s up.
Smart Priority Weighting
The rehearsal plan template uses a weighted algorithm to divide your available time. Difficult pieces automatically receive more rehearsal time, even if they’re shorter.
Pieces that need the most attention get triple-weighted rehearsal time.
Recently added pieces get double time to build familiarity.
Well-rehearsed pieces get standard time for a quick review.
A Live Timer for Your Rehearsal
The built-in countdown timer keeps your choir rehearsal schedule on track. Three visual cues tell you exactly where you stand without looking at the screen.
Stay On Track
The large-format countdown is readable from across the room. Audio beeps alert you at 30 seconds and when time runs out.
Adjust On the Fly
Tap any segment duration to edit it mid-rehearsal. Clock times recalculate instantly so you can adapt without losing the plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a rehearsal schedule template?
A rehearsal schedule template is a structured plan that divides your available rehearsal time into timed segments — warm-up, focused work on individual pieces, breaks, and a final run-through. It helps you make the most of every minute.
How does the priority weighting work?
Each piece gets a priority: Needs Work (3× weight), New Piece (2×), or Polish Only (1×). The template multiplies this by the piece’s duration and allocates rehearsal time proportionally, so difficult pieces get more attention.
Can I use this as a choir rehearsal planner?
Yes. The planner includes choir-specific features like warm-up slots, sectional work, sight-reading time, and a link to a vocal warm-up generator. It works for any choir rehearsal schedule.
Is this rehearsal plan template really free?
Completely free. No account, no sign-up, no limitations. Use it every week directly in your browser. Add it to your home screen for app-like access.
Can I adjust the schedule after generating it?
Yes. Tap any segment’s duration in the schedule to edit it on the spot. The clock times recalculate instantly, so you can make last-minute changes even mid-rehearsal.
